This is a shoe any woman should have as part of their shoe collection. It is very comfortable to wear. I wear a size 7 and feels true to size. Cute thing happened when I wore them for the first time. Without warning a little girl, about 7 years old, came up to me and said "pretty shoes" and walked away!

Wonderful shoes! I got them in the silver glitter and they are absolutely dazzling. I'm wearing them for my wedding, and I'm sure they'll be great for any special occasion afterward. Surprisingly comfortable, and the heel is just the right height for a balance between comfort and sexiness.

So far so good! I usually hate high heels but these are surprisingly comfortable. I haven't tried to walk a mile in them yet, but I expect I could at least walk a few blocks without killing myself.

These are great shoes. Flattering and reasonably comfortable for high heels. I wore them 5 hours during a party the other night and I was amazed at how comfortable they were.

The perfect wedding shoes and perfect going out shoes (that don't look like you are trying to recycle your wedding shoes. Love them! I'm not crazy about the round toe, but it makes the shoe more comfortable to wear, especially if you are going to be on your feet all day. Who wants to be in uncomfortable shoes on your wedding day?

Love these pumps! I have about a dozen pairs of Karolinas and they're the best. Fit is always right on and they're super comfortable. I always gets compliments on them at work. Highly recommend. The only catch - if you find a color you like that isn't black or sand/nude, hop on it - those usually go fast!

These are beautiful shoes, however...the picture accompanying this color was burgundy, not the bright red as pictured now. Maybe I should have known because of the color name, but I went with the picture on the web site. I did keep them, mostly because the soles got scuffed just from wearing inside my house. Having said all of this, they are beautiful and VERY comfortable! Heel height perfect; looks higher than it is.

Beautiful, comfortable, sexy. What more could a girl want in a shoe? As most reviews also say, this shoe is engineered so well that it truly does not pinch or bind your toes, yet does not look dowdy. The heel is high, but not too high. I worry about patent leather and the fact that it does not have the "give" of traditional leather, but with this style and fit, there's no need to worry. I simply love them. I hope Kate Spade never stops making the Karolina. Well done.

I shopped a long time for these. Although a but pricey for my budget. I would have spent as much on 3 or 4 pair that weren't as comfortable or last as long. So in the end always you pay for quality.

LOVE THESE SHOES. Absolutely gorgeous, completely flattering, and shockingly comfortable. I typically don't wear heals above 2 inches, so I was prepared to suffer... but never had to. Truly classic, super sexy in a subtle way, and I wish I could afford to spring for 5 more colors.

I ordered these shoes when I was looking for a classic pair of neutral pumps. These were some of the most comfortable heels I have ever tried! I typically wear heels 3" and over and have several high end pairs, but these were by far the most comfortable. I would prefer the toe to be a little less rounded (although I suspect that is part of what makes them so comfortable). The camel color was just too dark for my skin tone (I have fair skin) to look "nude." I will definitely be ordering this shoe in a different color in the future.

These shoes are so comfortable. I wear heels to work everyday and I buy and re-buy this shoe because I wear them so much! Have them in multipile colors. They are a bit pricey, but worth it. Theres nothing worse than wearing shoes that hurt your feet and these are definately not those shoes. I wear them for 8-12 hrs a day, very comfortable and classic in the style category.

The color is a little darker than I expected, so they are not a nude shade if that is what you are looking for. I have medium toned skin, so I'm hoping that my legs get tan enough to make them appear nude in summer. They are beautiful shoes, however, so I keeping them!

Very comfortable for such a high heel. They are lighter than they appear on my iPad but are very versatile - you can wear as a stand out accessory with black, navy, or grey. Also fantastic with a red dress that I like to hear over the holidays.

I had never spent anywhere near this much on a pair of shoes and I never wear heels. So why did I decide to spend so much on a pair of designer heels? Well I was sick of buying cheaper shoes that were just crappy and uncomfortable. My feet are pretty wide and I wanted shoes that were really beautiful and comfortable. These fit the bill perfectly. I actually tried them on in two widths - regular, and wide (which is apparently only available here at Zappos and at Nordstrom - not through Kate Spade stores or on their website). I went with the wide and am glad that I did. These heels are easy to walk in (even though again I never wear heels), they are comfortable enough to wear for a long time, and they are gorgeous and classic. I am not going to start wearing heels every day but I am so glad that I spent the money on these, because it was totally worth it. Even the regular size was pretty good for my wide feet (I could have worn them almost as comfortably, I think) but the wide size added just an extra touch of comfort. One of my feet is an 8 and one is a little closer to an 8½. I bought the 8 which fit fine. By the way, I also tried on Cole Haan Air pumps and found them less comfortable than these.

The color is the dead on nude for tanned legs. The rounded toe looks conservative enough for an everyday office look. I wore the last pair to the ground and I just ordered my second pair. They are very comfortable for such high heels. When this pair starts looking old due to easily damaged patent covered heel, I will order a third pair.

This is a great shoe and worth every nickel. The shape of the toe box is just so sweet and the line of the vamp and heel is very elegant. What makes this such a comfortable shoe is that it is amazingly light despite having a fully leather sole, lining and upper. Mine did not work out for me as my foot is very at the instep complicated further by bunions, and though I ordered a wide, it wasn't going to happen. I would recommend this shoe to the bunion-less however. You will not be disappointed.

A comfortable, awesome shoe! I had to go down a half size from normal, which left my toes feeling a little cramped at first. After wearing them for a day or two, it was much better. Super easy to walk in and I love the contrast heel!

The shoes are beautiful. I had a hard time finding a cute round-toe shoe for work. I have other shoes by Kate Spade, but for some reason, this particular style fits a little right. However, I plan to order the exact same shoe in anither color in a half size larger for comfort.

Absolutely gorgeous shoe. Very classy and well made. Fits my foot like a glove. That being said they do show some serious toe cleavage on my foot and I don't like the look of it. I like the toe cleavage put away for the fall/winter which is when I would be wearing these shoes. However, if you don't mind showing your toes, you will fall in love with these shoes.

I wish I would have sized up!!!! These shoes are gorgeous, high quality and worth the investment. However, I ordered my regular size (7.5) and promptly wore them upon arrival. At first I thought they just needed to be broken in but I quickly realized they run a bit small. Half a size larger would have been perfect. I am a true size 7.5 and never have to size up so.

The Karolina is a very comfortable shoe with a manageable height. The sparkly things do fall off a lot, not changing the look of the shoe but leaving a trail.

The issue with this shoe is that there is not enough padding for the ball of my foot. Everything else is perfect. You have to be willing to get insoles for the shoes to make them good enough to wear all day. They look exactly like the picture though and are definitely beautiful and comfortable everywhere except the ball of my foot.
